The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists.

This presumably is the latest incarnation of the plan first mooted in 2012, when it barely got of the ground before rain in September brought work to a halt. Then it was claimed that the end result would be to turn Kampot into an industrial hub, not a tourist destination. One thing that seems to have remained the same is the price, it was to cost $18 million then just like now. :hattip:

I'm packed and ready!

I'm sure after Bokor Hill's recent success story, this Kampot sea port will be an overnight sensation.

AKP Phnom Penh, January 06, 2022 --

Construction of Kampot tourism port in Kampot coastal province is expected to complete by the end of March 2022, according to the Kampot Provincial Department of Tourism.

Mr. Soy Sinol, Director of the Department of Tourism, said on Jan. 6 that the port construction project has been previously scheduled to be completed by the end of 2021, but it is delayed due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 crisis.

“The construction was previously planned for the end of 2021, but it is now postponed until the end of March 2022,” he said.

However, the director did not have any details regarding the percentage of the port’s construction progress.

Built under the ADB financing of US$8 million, Kampot Tourism Port broke ground on Aug. 8, 2018 in Chhouk district, Kampot province.

March 2023 is more likely. Cannot help but think that the thousands of tourists the cruise ships will disgorge on Kampot will affect the place in a negative way. Way too small and way too little for them to do or see. Time will tell.
